About this title

From Library Journal:

This photographic essay by landscape photographer Muench celebrates the legendary Appalachian Trail, the 2,114-mile footpath that runs through 14 eastern states from Georgia to Maine. His observant camera takes the would-be hiker from a magnificent sunrise over Blood Mountain, Georgia to a fog-enshrouded peak in the Great Smokey Mountains, from New Jersey's tranquil Sunfish Pond to the end of the Trail at Katahdin, Maine's tallest mountain. Along the way, Muench studies cascades and waterfalls, rivers and streams, lakes and ponds. The introduction by environmental journalist Frome narrates the history of the Trail and praises the volunteers who have preserved a belt of pristine wilderness close to six of the nation's largest cities. Anyone who has ever hiked a portion of the Trail (the whole journey takes four to six months, and only 150 hikers succeed each year) will love this book. For natural his tory and photography collections.
